Oh fuck me.

 

At least we're coming up on some sweetass Brotherhood episodes for the next couple weeks.

Too bad that goon didn't know I've got like a million perfect ways of dealing with hostage situations.
You ever try just throwing something at a guy with a hostage?
Of course not, who the hell does that?
But that is exactly why it works every time.
So yeah, before he even knew what was happening, there was ten pounds of gun flying right into his face.

Don't you hate it when you set up a new DVD for recording, only to find out that every single one in the package has a "recording error", despite appearing perfectly fine? I do.

 

BLEACH

  "Which path should I take? Safety or Death?" *fails to sense Senbonzakura* "Safety it is."

  Mayuri, you are such a fun character.

  The rest of us are way past the beginning stage of annoyance pertaining to Oomaeda.

  Or maybe Oomaeda just read the subtitles.

  Matsumoto and Momo are smart enough to avoid sending their own zanpakutos to Squad 12.

  "Stop running!" "I don't know how!"

  For some reason, I can handle Ichigo getting his ass kicked by women.

  *Muramasa returns from Vasto Lordes* "I'm never going back there again."

  It's only obvious that Muramasa would seek out Ichigo's power specifically; he's the MC, after all.

  "It will be a fatal mistake." *cough* "Apparently, not as fatal as whatever mistake YOU made."

  It feels weird hearing Momo of all people say "I've gone stiff!"

  A WILD SENBONZAKURA APPEARS.

  COMMERCIAL TIME: Oh, Terry Crews, how you amuse me so with your P-P-P-P-P-P-POWER! *explosions*

  Whoever knocked out the Soul Reapers taking Haineko and Tobiume to squad 4 sure as hell isn't Muramasa. Took me two seconds to notice that.

  RESPONSE TO FOLEY: "I don't get Byakuya releasing Haineko and Toibume. The real shame of it is that we're likely to have more of their bickering in the future." Strangely enough, the bickering between those two I can handle more than most of the other histrionics present in the series.

  "Brings back memories. Not the fondest, but exciting nonetheless."

  You think Senbonzakura noticed Ichigo's hollow mask?

  "My face mask! Now the mystery as to what I look like is ruined!"

  OH YEAH BYAKUYA'S BACK.

  I enjoy Ichigo's responses to Byakuya's reassurances.

  "I will never surrender to a zanpakuto, no matter the circumstance. Doing something of that nature is just idiotic."

   ...So Byakuya isn't on either side. Weird.

 

FLCL

  The first time I watched this, I had no idea that Ninamori's parents were getting divorced, nor that her father was sleeping with the secretary. Interesting what a couple years does to your attention to detail.

  I also find it ineresting how Haruko didn't notice Naota until he called her "evil alien".

  I kind of like how Haruko said "Very strange."

  My main beef with this episode: Naota's ugly/"really bizarre" hat. It's just a fisherman's hat! It doesn't look THAT bad.

  For anyone unaware, the 正s on the board in that half-second cut are Japan's form of tally marks. And Naota won the part of Puss in Boots 23 to 14. Not bad, considering there was another contender.

  Did the translators even consider that nobody in America's ever heard of Doraemon? At least in 2003?

  See? Kamon's mini-zine 

  Ah, Crystal Pepsi. The best soft drink nobody ever drank/drunk/whatever the past tense of drink is.

  I heard "Ray=Out" commercials.

  Miyajun's reaction to the minizine is... certainly out there.

  According to the newspaper article, Ninamori's father/Mabase's mayor's first name is Teruaki, and he apparently has something to do with the Medical Mechanica plant.

  I love how Naota cares more about ditching rehersal than about inadvertantly getting a demerit thrown straight at him.

  Mamimi's hat is pretty cool.

  If you said "Naota" instead of "the king", and "cat" instead of "donkey", then your comment would be scarily accurate.

  I wonder what the deal is with stores always being run by an old lady with a dog.

  I love that picture of Kamon when he says "Let's say eighty!"

  Did that cat just pull a Pac-man?

  Fight scenes with black and white pictures of real people's faces thrown in are always the most interesting to watch, even in regular play.

  Haruko's brakes are scarily good... at least, compared to those of the people behind her.

  This series is so full of double innuendos.

  Kamon's face before eating the curry, however, is a little disturbing.

  Is it coincidence that Naota's looks like literal crap?

  "Why doesn't he think it's spicy?" Cuz he's a robot, duh. They don't have a sense of taste.

  Naota may be complaining about his curry, but the real one suffering from the spiciness is Shigekuni.

  Haruko's such a troll. :smileyhappy:

  "Would you like some chocolate icing on your curry?" After about ten watches, it's only now that Haruko's off-handed comment actually makes sense.

  "Go get it yourself! You're supposed to be the housekeeper here!" "Yes, but only for Takkun." I smiled. :smileyhappy:

  So many people are getting run over in this show.

  "I don't think it's any big deal."

  Was that Kamon who gave her the head-tutu-thing? Or an informant?

  I love that scene where Naota's drinking from the drink pouch. I always think back to when they were making that product placement, and after they failed to get permission to promote it, they decided "screw it, we're throwing it in anyways!"

  Naota's such a puss.

  I agree with /a/ when they say Ninamori is the best girl. Haruko's insane (in a good way), and Mamimi's a delinquent. Even if she did rig the votes for the casting of Naota as Puss in Boots, she's still the best.

  Haruko didn't think their argument needed editing.

  Gaku's just jealous that Naota lost his first kiss before him, which is why he's making a big deal about it all. Either that or he has a kissing fetish.

  And then... silence.

  IS THIS HIROYUKI IMAISHI SAKUGA OR SUSHIO SAKUGA I DON'T CARE SAKUGA SPOTTED.

  The ukelele is a s*cky weapon.

  STOCK MUSIC FOR SPECIAL EFFECT GO!

  Miyajun has a strange obsession with giving demerits.

  YOH YOSHINARI SAKUGA SPOTTED.

  Interesting how neatly the curry was thrown into the robot.

  SHINYA OHIRA SAKUGA SPOTTED.

  SHINJI HASHIMOTO SAKUGA SPOTTED.

  That explosion always excites me every time.

  The whole fake glasses thing at the end always makes me confused. Was Ninamori lying to Naota about needing glasses, or does she really need them, meaning that "They're fake" refers to the fact that the glasses she's wearing are a prop and she's wearing contacts at the moment?

One, Two, Sunshine, Four.... Go.... The Weekend in Review ™

 

  Durarara -
 Masaomi is pretty heroic in his own way. Watching the series again, it is interesting
to see all the little looks when subjets like the Dollars, the Yellow Scarves, the Blue
Squares come up. Saika is scary, I can't blame Celty for being at least mildly disturbed
by her. It is kind of cute that Celty thinks she is an alien monster, it sort of
proves that no one is immune to pop culture influences. Masaomi's bang isn't as cool
as Spike's. Izaya actually behaved himself for once, although the fact that Erika
was talking with Masaomi about his not being able to go to Izaya for help about the
Dollars is kind of partial credit. Actually, it is pretty bad that Izaya doesn't even have
to try to troll and still ends up trolling.

  Bleach -
Pinhead : Hey! what are you doing?
Mayuri : Quiet pinhead. I just want to figure out what caused this rebellion.
Pinhead : Hey, what is going to happen if you cut him up?
Mayuri : That's a good question, let's find out.
Pinhead : Wait.
Mayuri : Nemu, he's annoying me.
Pinhead : Hey, don't cut me up, cut him up.
Tubby : *mumbles* Hey!
Pinhead : You killed my zanpakto.
Mayuri : Well, it seems like if the owner kills his zanpakto, his zanpakto returns to normal.
If someone else does, a whole new set of rules apply.
Heineko : Why are we in a cage. That's so mean, you old ugly hag.
Rangiku : Gah, take them away already.
Emomo : We should get going.
Rangiku : *runs into Ichigo*
Ichigo : Hey, get off me fatty.
Rangiku : Rude.
Ichigo : So, grumpy shota is ok. He regained his zanpakto too.
Rangiku : That's good.
Emomo : Good for him.
Muramasa : *wanders out of dimensional rift.*
Ichigo : Hey. So, why exactly shouldn't I kick your ass and end this stupid arc?
Muramasa : Well, there are plenty of reasons actually, but I don't feel like explaining them.
Ichigo : What?
Muramasa : Well, you have power and I can use it to further a long term goal, that I won't bother
to explain. *vogues*
Ichigo : What is he doing?
Zangetsu : Don't worry, I won't fall for his tricks again.
Muramasa : *stuns everyone*
Ichigo : *breaks free and swings at Muramasa*
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : *blocks*
Ichigo : Hey, you're....
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : *shows bankai*
Ichigo : That's....
Rangiku : Yeah, we all figured it out when the pink petals started to show up. Can we get on with it.
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : *puts petals to asses*
Emomo : *blocks petals*
Flunky : Hey, that feels like Capt. :smileyindifferent:.
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : *frees Heineko and Tobi* :smileyindifferent:
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : Stand back. :smileyindifferent:
Ichigo : *fights it out with Zanpakto :smileyindifferent:* Hey, this is just like the actual fight I had with Capt. :smileyindifferent:.
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : *surrounds Ichigo with ball of pink death*
Ichigo : *uses mask hax* I guess I have to attack for real. *tenshous hell out of Zanpakto :smileyindifferent:*
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : I blocked that attack. :smileyindifferent:
Ichigo : You sure? *looks at crack in Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: mask.*
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : That's enough. :smileyindifferent:
Ichigo : Sorry, I was hogging the spotlight.
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : Stand aside. *hadokens Ichigo*
Ichigo : What the hell? :smileymad:
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : I felt like having fun. :smileyindifferent:
Ichigo : Huh?
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : I decided to have fun, since this is filler, and I don't particularly care. So, Ichigo,
quit interfering with Muramasa, so this can drag out a little longer, and I can enjoy myself. :smileyindifferent:

  Kekkaishi -
 The professor is kind of a complex fellow, for all his eccentricities, he really is
a decent fellow. Shion is a tough customer, she might be the toughest of all, certainly
the most adept at these kinds of assignments. I feel bad for Shigemori, it is tough to
have to lose a friend, particularly if you feel as though there was something you could
have done.

  FLCL -
 So, after being warned, having horns, and legs really, grow out of your head,
being dragged around the school by a crazy machine sprouting from your head, being saved
by Naota, Ninmori still didn't learn her lesson about deceiving people. I think
she'll be a perfect politician.

  Cowboy Bebop -
 Vicious is right, Spike is the only one that is his equal. I wonder is maybe
Shen was right, if Spike had come back earlier would he have been able to take over,
and possibly stop the violence. I think that Spike ultimately was weak, everyone
else at some point overcame their past, Jet, Faye, even Ed. Spike couldn't, and
it really was his flaw, Vicious was content to simply rule his new empire.

  Big O -
 I wouldn't want to open an insurance company in Paradigm city.
The end always cracks me up, Alex throws a temper tantrum, Big Fau pretty much
throws a temper tantrum, and it is like Big O just walks up and says, "You're grounded.".

  Gits -
 Post Traumatic stress is a nasty thing, but I don't know that it is solely
responsible for this. I think there are just people who live quiet desperate lives,
people who want the world to recognize and celebrate them for their uniqueness.
The nets in general can give that outlet for people, but at the same time it is
somehow false, anyone can lie on the net. I think the guy in the end will just
live out a quiet desperate life, and escape into fantasy. I feel bad for him.

  InuYasha -
 Naraku is always scheming some kind of dumb plan. It gets kind of old after a while,
but at least this particular scheme involves Sesshomaru, which is a nice change of pace.
Can Jakken be more useless?

  FMA B -
 Winry is just about the only reason to watch this show.

Strangely enough, I wound up watching a decent chunk of the Grammys while my mom had it on. I know a few of you hardcore music-types aren't exactly a fan, but still...a finale of Sir Paul performing Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight, and then having a massive The End jam session with The Boss, Dave Grohl, et al. is just awesome.

Even if we do have to wait a long time to finish up this current filler arc, everyone has to admit that it's a lot better than the Amagai arc.

Gaynor: Now I kind of want to watch that OP for DRRR and note the order in which the characters appear to match them. I won't do it today, but I do have that urge.

Aww, poor Rukia.
Gee Renji, I'm sure this'll work out great for you.
I do like Monkey. Snake not so much.
I'm actually impressed how well Renji and Zabimaru did.
Oh wow, Soi Fon actually showed up and didn't ruin everything for once.

Too bad that goon didn't know I've got like a million perfect ways of dealing with hostage situations.
You ever try just throwing something at a guy with a hostage?
Of course not, who the hell does that?
But that is exactly why it works every time.
So yeah, before he even knew what was happening, there was ten pounds of gun flying right into his face.

You mean the best job. What recession? Business is always booming!

(I don't even want to know how we're going to get 25 more episodes dragged out of this. If there was ever a time for double premieres, it's now.)

Also, the contractors are lucky that everything is made out of reishi, so they shouldn't face any material shortages. That can only help them keep their schedules.

Bleach - Byakuya's test baffles me. Yes, he prevented Rukia from being able to regain her Sword's powers, but he also eliminated a rebel Sword, thus decreasing the number of Swords in rebellion. I fail to see how that shows his resolve to aid the rebel Swords.

Still, it was a fairly good fight.

The Zabimaru v. Senbonzakura and Renji v. Byakuya fights were better, though. Poor Renji. He still doesn't measure up to Byakuya. I did like how they worked in Renji's difficulties with kido by having one of the Shakkahos blow up in his face. I liked Zabimaru luring Senbonzakura into the hallway where he wouldn't have room to dodge.

I take issue with Byakuya saying he doesn't have the time to explain himself to Renji. Byakuya has at least twenty episodes before stuff really needs to start wrapping up for this filler arc. There's plenty of time for an explanation.

Ooh, it looks like we might get Round 2 of Ikkaku v. Houzukimaru next week. Cool.

Brotherhood - I find it interesting how Hoho, the Western Sage, brought bio-alchemy and directed it toward healing, and Father, the Eastern Sage, brought alchemic techniques focusing on conquest, death and destruction. Maybe they're supposed to evoke ideas of Buddhist teachings heading eastward and the Mongolian hordes rampaging westward. There's nothing in particular in the show to support this. It's just a musing.

It's touching to see Ross still alive, but I think I see what some people have said about the histrionics killing a mood with Armstrong's exceedingly joyous reaction.

Havoc's nifty. Only an equipment failure stopped him from fending off a highly agile attacker.

Barry's fun, but plenty weird.

DRRR - Kyohei's awesome.

Erica and Walker are oddball psychos, but fun oddball psychos.

Saburo showed admirable devotion to Kazutano. Saburo also showed tremendous pursuit driving prowess.

Hooray for the half-starved stray dog. It did eventually come upon the scene where Kazutano had been.

Namie is a scary, creepy and despicable person.

Kekkaishi - It's a shame that Gen is so outmatched by Kaguro. It would have been so satisfying for Gen and the viewers had Gen been able to best Kaguro. Instead, not only did Gen get beaten down, again, but he also didn't completely disregard what Kaguro said. He also ignored his instincts about the egg.

The theme continues.

Honorable Mention from elsewhere:

Due to my DVD recorder no longer being able to format discs, I had to go back to the old school way of recording and do it on a VHS. Not only did I get the Bleach and FLCL episodes I needed, but I also got some Boondocks and Durarara!!.

 

THE BOONDOCKS: THE STORY OF CATCHER FREEMAN

N*GGA COUNT: 49

  I watched this episode after the CGR2 episode where Shirley died, as an extension of a suggestion from an IRL friend. No regrets.

  I swear there were less greats the first time.

  I find it funny that they knew who Barack Obama was before he was president.

  It's great hearing Turk from Scrubs scream at the top of his lungs in pain.

  It's interesting to see how much [as]'s censorship standards have changed since 2007. Here, they censor assh*le. In Durarara!!, they don't.

  :smileyvery-happy: Flying underwater.

  Everyone's gay for Catcher Freeman!

  That scene where he blocks the bullet with his handcuffs always cracks me up.

  "You'll never see this coming!" And yet everybody did, even those in-story.

  Uncle Ruckus is my favorite character, even if he is racist. :smileyvery-happy:

  Weird how Riley doesn't believe kung-fu action, but eats up Tarzan moves and Friday the 13th shout outs like it's a brand new Thugnificent CD.

  Strange how Thelma's cuter in Ruckus's telling of the Catcher Freeman story than in Robert's, despite being sluttier.

  FUN FACT: Type madeupmonkeyshit.com into your HTML bar, and you'll be sent to The Boondocks's main site.

 

BLEACH

  Ah, watching Bleach on a VHS tape... great nostalgia fuel.

  So... how long until a new opening theme? According to ANN, the episode after next.

  I forget Byakuya's explanation for his being on the evil side this arc, but I agree with Renji, plausibility counts.

  From the sound of things, Hitsugaya's gonna be out for the rest of this arc.

  o_O OH GOD RUKIA'S FACE.

  So apparently Sode no Shirayuki's still on the other guys's side.

  Well, it is reasonable that Byakuya was the one who helped Tobiume and Haineko escape. Who else is that good at the flash step?

  Senbonzakura's morals clearly pose problems for a number of the other zanpakutos.

  Muramasa: "Does anyone have any popcorn?"

  Ah, this takes me back to the start of the arc.

  Byakuya, you have officially gone back to the role of jackass. I hope samurai Vic Mignogna stabs you.

  Wow, he sure did a number on the squad's barracks.

  COMMERCIAL TIME: Never underestimate Japanese schoolgirls. Or call them IT guys behind their backs.

  Senbonzakura, you do know that Rukia's still capable of using Kido, right?

  Looks like Renji's had just enough of being kept in the dark.

  "What reason do you have for betraying us!?" "That's classified."

  It feels great hearing Mary Elizabeth McGlynn in non-union dubs. Now if only Steven Blum and Crispin Freeman would do the same...

  Byakuya doesn't believe in the power of kido.

  This is an awesome fight. :smileyhappy: The increased animation quality explains for part of it.

  So... how many dead zanpakutos does this make now? Three, or still two?

  Ichigo's still p*ssed at Byakuya. Wouldn't blame him.

 

FLCL

  That enemy baseball team's full of blatant homosexuals.

  Naota's smart enough to know not to hit Haruko's fastballs. Not smart enough to dodge the ball, though.

  He may be massaging her, but it sounds like he's doing... other things.

  Haruko has a nice ass.

  His uniform isn't dirty because he hasn't played it at all.

  Naota possibly couldn't be jealous of Kamon, could he?

  I love Amarao's voice; the voice that made me appreciate Dave Mallow.

  DOZE EYEBROWS.

  Interesting how Naota and Amarao didn't mind the sexy noises in the background.

  Amarao's like Naota in a way. Well, in the sense of taste, that is.

  Something tells me that Mamimi's talking about Nostradamus's prediction that the world's gonna end in 2012.

  Did anyone notice that Naota accidentally pulled Mamimi's panties off?

  And then everything became nonlinear.

  Considering how much blood there was this episode, I'm surprised this episode never got the TV-14DV rating.

  Amarao must hold the world record for highest number of sugar cubes held in one hand.

  HIROYUKI IMAISHI SAKUGA SPOTTED.

  And that, children, is how N.O. works.

  Even after making as much sense of the series as I could, some things still confuse me.

  The double entendres are getting real blatant now.

  YOH YOSHINARI SAKUGA SPOTTED.

  That scene at the end gets me every time.

  Eyebrow compensation is more common than you think.

Eco-criminal.... The Weekend in Review ™

 

  Durarara -
 Go Dollars, or rather, go Team Kyohei. I'm not surprised that Nami would be
paying for kidnapped people, she is pretty creepy in general. Illegal immigrants
seem to have it pretty hard in Japan, random kidnappers showing up in squatter's tenements
is a rough life. I'm not surprised to find out that Izaya was the one who started Dotachan,
whenever there is some kind of embarrassing or irritating nickname he seems to be
involved in it somehow. It was funny when he just randomly answered the cellphone,
he had to know everything, he was just there really to taunt everyone involved, and
troll Shizuo. You have to wonder, what does his daily calendar list look like?
Arrange human trafficking, taunt a Celtic death spirit, troll Shizuo, fatty tuna at
Russia sushi, be a creep to a bunch of tan betches, embarass Mikado in front of Anri,
troll Shizuo again, call twincest sisters, and encourage Nami's creepy brolove.

  Bleach -
Renji : You shut your river Styx lovin ass Ichigo. :smileymad:
Shunsui : Chill out Renji.
Renji : There is no way that Capt. :smileyindifferent: would betray us. There has to be a meaning.
Ichigo : Capt. :smileyindifferent: is tired of Kubo trolling people, so he is working with his Zanpakto
to make this filler last longer.
Shunsui : Sounds like him. Alright, we'll have to deal with it I suppose.
Capt. Unohana : I have more bad news, if anyone other than the original owner destroys
a Zanpakto, that zanpakto could be lost. We are also out of chocolate pudding.
Hot Nanao : We should keep that a secret from the troops.
Shunsui : We can't, if we try to keep secrets, they will start spreading rumors.
We'll just have to tell them everything. The good news though is that Grumpy Shota
got his zanpakto back, but he won't be fighting for at least three or four episodes.
Renji : What about Rukia?
Capt. Ukkitake : I'll tell Rukia. She'll just have to accept that we're out of chocolate like
everyone else.
Rukia : What? :smileysad:
Capt. Ukkitake : It's true, we're out of chocolate pudding. Also, your bro is a traitor and a douche.
Rukia : Chocolate is my fave.... :smileysad:
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : Why did you help? :smileyindifferent:
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : It is strictly based on my own pride. :smileyindifferent:
Stabby : No way. I don't buy that for a minute.
Tobi : He helped us escape.
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : Kill Ice Betch. :smileyindifferent:
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : You want her slain now. :smileyindifferent: *attacks Ice betch*
Ice Betch : *summons ice column* You can't beat me even if you wanted to.
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : *hadokens Ice betch*
Ice Betch : He really is trying to kill me. *summons ice column*
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : *uses shadow clone jutsu* There is nothing I won't do for my pride. *kills Ice betch* :smileyindifferent:
Stabby : What the hell man, you can't expect to join us now. I don't get you.
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : Peasants like you wouldn't understand. :smileyindifferent:
Muramasa : He's alright.
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : If you hesitate even a little I'll kill you myself. :smileyindifferent:
Muramasa : I want you to do something for me.
Renji : I'm sure we'll have chocolate pudding soon, and that your brother will be back to normal.
Rukia : Thanks. :smileyhappy: *falls asleep at Capt. :smileyindifferent:'s desk*
Rukia : It's been a long time Byakuya.
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : This is his answer. *drops broken Ice betch*:smileyindifferent:
Rukia : Impossible. :smileysad:
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : You will stay out of our way. :smileyindifferent:
Rukia : What have you done.
Renji : What the hell. Capt. :smileyindifferent:, I have no choice but you arrest you.
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : I know you have used your one cool trick for this arc, you have nothing with which to stop me. :smileyindifferent:
Zabimaru : Actually, I'll just handle this myself.
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : I will not lose to a boy and a chick from Seattle. :smileyindifferent:
Renji : *tries to hadoken Capt. :smileyindifferent: but misses big time.*
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : You will not defeat me like that. :smileyindifferent:
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : *chases Zabimaru with petals into hallway* There is no where for you to run.
Zabimaru : *bankai* That's what I was thinking. *shoots hella hadoken at Zanpakto :smileyindifferent:*
Zanpakto :smileyindifferent: : *bankai* Scatter. :smileyindifferent: *surrounds Zabimaru in pink death*
Capt. :smileyindifferent: : This is your final warning, stay out of this.
Stabby : Aren't you going to finish them? I'll finish em if you don't want to.
Soi Fon : Stop right there. *stealth forces surrounds everyone*

  Kekkaishi -
 I'm not surprised that Kaguro wouldn't have a worm in him. Gen should really be more
trusting of everyone around him, then again, it is why Kaguro's little speech would work
so well on Gen. I'm surprised the Kokuboro would really keep someone like him around, he
isn't exactly a team player. I wouldn't put it past him to betray them and take Karasumori
for himself, or at least try. Gen should know better than to take gifts from him, in large
part this is his fault, he could have left the egg.

  FLCL -
 This is the one episode that seems more frenetic than any other. In some ways I almost think
they should have divided it into two episodes, the first dealing with Naota, his father, and
Haruko's past, the second dealing with Naota finally swinging the bat. I think too many
details end up getting lost in the shuffle, it seems rushed.

  Cowboy Bebop -
 I love the spaghetti western references, with the unique twists that end up put on them.
One of the big rules in drug dealing is not to use yourself. Addicts don't make good dealers
for obvious reasons, and this is a fine example of that. Spike in a poncho and sombrero really
did look ridiculous. I don't understand why the police opened fire like that, it seems pretty dangerous.
From that angle any rounds that miss the target, or pass through it, would certainly still be
lethal to anyone on the actual moon itself.

  Big O -
 Angel's confession to Dorothy took a fair bit of courage actually. Dorothy is nice about it,
she does he best to comfort Angel, even though Angel probably really didn't deserve it. Alex
needs to go back to sensitivity training, calling women foolish creatures isn't exactly P.C..
Honestly, that is a comparatively minor character flaw of his though, megalomania sort of
outweighs misogyny.

  Gits -
 I wonder sometimes if perhaps the Major was a thief of some kind during her teen years, prior
to her joining the JSDF. We don't really find out much about her formative years, and
I'd suspect that she probably was involved in a fair bit of crime, though probably nothing
directly violent. She certainly has a few underworld contacts, it is almost a certainty that
she recruited Pazu from a yakuza outfit. It really was a clever plan as well, to get the
safe open, and therefore fair game to a police officer to notice something wrong, like
laundered bonds, which were in plain sight.

  InuYasha -
 Naraku, for all his pretenses at being a manipulator, really does stink at it. Every time
he tries to pull it off, he ends up failing miserably, and having to build himself a new body.
Maybe he should look into getting Izaya to teach him a thing or two, it couldn't hurt.

  FMA B -
 Eh, Ling is pretty funny.

 

Happy President's Day.

I can agree that the episode did end up being rushed, although in my opinion, the rushedness lies within the stuff involving Mamimi, Nostradamus's predictions, and the "something thunder". Or it could just be that it made no sense at all, even for FLCL.

Silly Top_Gun, never underestimate the ability of a shounen series to draw stuff out. 

 

Still, Bleach filler is a tier above some other series, so there's that at least.
